DREAM: MIXING BOWLS FULL OF RAIN

I asked for a dream that would help me lose weight. For some time, I had been wanting to lose 10 pounds which was now creeping up to 15. When I awoke the next morning, I did not remember any dreams. Later that morning it occurred to me to use my DreamQuest Dictionary of Dream Symbols to do an interpretation on a waking life incident which happened the day before, treating it as if it were a dream. I wrote up this incident just as I would a dream and wondered if it had any information for be about gaining or losing weight.

There is a huge rain storm and my roof leaks at the entrance. I put two mixing bowls under the leaks to catch the steady drip,drip,drip of water to protect my newly finished pine floor.

E-DICTIONARY INTERPRETATION

The first word I look up is rain. The meaning “lacking moisture” makes me wonder if I am getting enough water for my body, while the question “Who is holding the reins?” made me think.. If I am holding the reins on my eating patterns then why do I wonder why I am putting on weight? I realized that I can pull in the reins of my runaway heating habits and be more conscious as I eat instead of watching TV or playing computer games.
I next look up roof. The phrase “wanting protection” rings a bell. Also “stifling strong emotions” makes me wonder which emotions I am suppressing. Thinking of the incident as a metaphor, I wonder if rain indicates emotions? If so, the protection I have put up over them is not working as they are leaking through. Is that why I am putting on more and more weight? I am afraid to express my emotions so stuff my face instead. This is very interesting. I look up leak. and “drain on your energy” leads me to think about what would be a drain on my energy. Well, stuffing your emotions takes a lot of energy. Maybe that is why I eat more. What a paradox! I eat for emotional comfort however being overweight causes me discomfort, which leads to overeating, Perhaps if I start to acknowledge my emotions and express the “bad” ones instead of using food to push them down that might solve two problems at once.
So how do I do that? I will look up entrance and bowls together and see what they mean as dream symbols. For entrance I read, “ a beginning”. This could be a new beginning for me as I am “passing from one phase to another”. For bowl, “have a night out” links for me. I realize that I don’t do much with others for entertainment. I usually get a video and watch it alone. As I see this process work, I am always bowled over by the answers we get when we ask a question. It is also interesting that I had written “to protect my newly finished pine floor.” It might be fun now to see what the dictionary says about floor; “check out what is supporting you”. When I think of what is newly supporting me I realize it was my experience at the Option Institute a month ago where I changed a lot of limiting beliefs while safely experiencing tremendous support from others. That is the new support which feeds me emotionally.

RESPONSE / ACTION

I will drink more water and eat by the river, or on the deck, being conscious of both being and eating. I will phone a friend and see “Life is Beautiful” this week at the theatre. I will e mail my Option Institute buddies and stay in touch. I will re-read “Happiness is a Choice” and look after myself emotionally. Oh, yes; I will have that leaky roof repaired.

RESULTS

I find that I eat less when I am conscious of what I am eating. Some emotional stuff came up for me and I am seeing a therapist to help me work through some old issues. I am enjoying seeing friends more and am allowing myself to play instead of feeling I have to work all the time. I don’t have so much focus on being overweight as I used too. I think, instead, to eat healthily and consciously and will let the weight balance out as my emotions do.

REFLECTION

I found it interesting that it “happened “ to rain and my roof leaked on the very night I asked for a dream to help me with my weight issues. Also that was the same night I didn’t remember any dreams and I usually remember many. The waking life incident of the leaky roof turned out to be very helpful and meaningful when I looked at it as if it were a dream. I happened to choose that particular incident but I think that everything is synchronistic and there are lessons in every situation. It is reassuring to know that I can tap into my dreams or a waking life incident whenever I want to find out more information about my unconscious motivations.

DREAM WISDOM

Synchronicity
Synchronicity is when two related events occur that didn’t necessarily cause each other. Sometimes, synchronicity is described as “significant coincidence”. When we experience synchronicity, we get the feeling that we are on track with our life's purpose.
When you record your dreams and interpret them, you will notice synchronicity expanding rapidly in both dreaming and waking life. These so-called "chance happenings” become a thread that connects both realities. Synchronicity reminds us that we live in a world where everyone and everything is connected.
A woman who had applied recently for a grant, dreamed about giving a lecture. the very next day she was called and asked to speak to a local business group and made a positive impression. ?two weeks later, she met with the committee that was considering her grant proposal. the committee chairman was surprised to learn that the applicant was the same person some of his staff had “raved” about after attending her speech.
Her grant request was approved.

“The essential content of the dream action is a sort of finely tuned compensation of the one-sidedness, errors, deviations, or other short comings of the conscious attitude.”C.G. Jung
